Please feel free to join a chevy wheeler over here! :doh: I am wheeling a '93 S10 Blazer 4 door with a 4.3W engine. It doesn't seem tobe the vehicle of choice for the rest of the forum, but there is a method to my madness. My last rig that I recently sold was a '91 Cherokee with a 4.5 lift, 33's and a mean 5.7 under the hood with a 700 trans behind it. Everything was done by myself and NYwheeler. The day before I sold it Justin was on the island and got a quick ride. The reason I sold it was not because I didn't like it, but it doesn't have a frame. I was planning on converting the front to leaf springs, but wanted a little more meat under the body.
There is some insane lift planned for the future, but for now I'm just gonna beat the crap out of it.
The other reason I chose this truck is because my wife has a '94 that she loves, and thought it would be cute if we had the same truck...but on my is an excuse to spend money on it!

Hey glad you picked up that Chevy! Dont worry, I have a tranny for you to build soon :D. I will be on the Island soon.

Did you figure out the whole motor thing? Was that the one with the blown motor?

The truck is running, we were wheeling it yesterday in a local spot. It didn't do to bad for having slicks. :lmao:

Hey Justin. Whenever you need that tranny done I'll clear a saturday. This truck also needed a motor. The other one was a pickup with a blown 4cyl. This truck I found on Craig's List. It supposedly only needed a head gasket, but the whole motor was cooked...WELL DONE PLEASE!!! I found a used Goodwrench motor for $500. The beauty of a Vortec motor is that it a stock roller motor with forged pistons, so when I bolt on a supercharger it will take it gladly. I lifted it 3 inches with shackles in the back and cranked the hell out of the torsion bars in the front. Me and you can stay in the stock tire club for now. I've got some bald ass mismatched tires and don't care... run 'em till they blow! I'm definately gonna make it on the Feb. run.
